Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

The Colby Rasmus/Ken Griffey Jr. connection

Hola gang,

Sorry guys, I have no statistical analysis comparing Rasmus to Griffey, nor do I have any interesting trade rumors to bring up. Instead, I just thought I'd share an interview with Springfield star Colby Rasmus that I conducted last week. The kid has a pretty funny story about a run-in with Griffey back when Jr. was in the minors.

If you're like me and stats make your head spin, you'll like this interview. The subject matter touches on his season a bit, but most of the questions delve more into his personal life than his skills on the field. I'm not stat-savvy enough to ask better questions than "What's your best pick-up line," I guess. (He didn't answer that one, sadly.)

Anywho, you can read it here. Enjoy.

Also, we're planning a few more player interviews in the coming months, so if you like this one, leave suggestions for future interview or questions. If not, I'll keep these to myself in the future. I just figured it might be a nice break from the Reyes saga.

Got the impression....
he's a little sick and tired of questions, at least when I talked to him a couple weeks ago before a game.  Great kid though.  Actually, all the guys on that team that we talked to were super nice to everyone who wanted a little time from them:  Anderson, Rasmus, Perez and especially freak Joe Mather.
